Washington State, Washington, D.C. and Colorado have blazed the trail for ending prohibition.

Through legal means these areas have adopted the recreational use of marijuana, freed the market for patients, opened the flood gates for entrepreneurs, and tax revenue for the states and districts. Based on research we have complied a list of states that will be vying for ending prohibition and legalization. With an election coming in 2016 all of these states on the list are going to have a measure on the ballot regarding marijuana. These are exciting times, friends. If you live in one of these states, be on the look out in November 2016 to vote for the right thing for our country. Enjoy.

In November 2014, Joe LaMarca invited media members for a sneak preview of what he hoped would be the first dispensary in Nevada to begin legally selling medical marijuana to patients.

Construction had just begun, with workers tearing up floors, putting in new walls and installing security systems that would turn the building, located next to a bar and a dentist's office in a shopping center near Jones Boulevard and Robindale Road, into a Fort Knox of pot.

Ever optimistic, LaMarca anticipated the store, dubbed Euphoria Wellness, would be open to patients in early January.

Dish Network has a strict zero-tolerance drug policy. Brandon Coats is a quadriplegic who uses legal medical marijuana. The company fired the Colorado man in 2010 when it found he was using medical marijuana in his off hours.

Sounded callous, but was it legal?

Short answer: Yes, in Colorado. Maybe in Nevada.

“Mr. Coats could not have had a more sympathetic set of facts,” said Steve Suflas, an attorney with the national law firm of Ballard Spahr, who is based in Colorado. “This was a guy with a very, very sad state of affairs and an employer with a strict anti-drug policy.”

An expert witness for the defense in a marijuana case testified in court Tuesday that it was impossible for a sheriff’s deputy to have smelled marijuana from duffel bags containing 80 pounds of processed pot in shrink-wrapped packages.

The defendant, Garth Alexander Gryte, has been charged with transportation of marijuana and possession for sale in connection with an Oct. 29, 2013, arrest, after the deputy stopped to help Gryte as he fixed a flat tire.

Lt. Alicia Burget testified in Nevada County Superior Court that she was driving on Highway 49 when she noticed Gryte out of his vehicle near Cement Hill Road; she said he was coming out of a ditch.

Clark County, NV — In an emotional courtroom display Friday, Steven Ficano, 65, embraced his attorney and his wife after the jury read their verdict of “not guilty.”

In 2012, Ficano’s house was raided by heroes protecting the citizens of Nevada from the horrors of marijuana plants. For the next three years, Ficano anxiously lived his life thinking that he could live out the rest of his golden years in a cage for the “crime” of treating his pain with a plant.

However, the three years that passed since his arrest were undoubtedly a benefit for Ficano in this case. The leaps and bounds that have taken place in regards to America’s acceptance of marijuana legalization had a lot to do with the jury’s verdict.

A 65-year-old Las Vegas man who grew medical pot in his backyard was acquitted of two felony marijuana charges Friday.

With tears in their eyes, Steven Ficano and his wife hugged each of the eight women and four men on the Clark County jury that found him not guilty as they left courtroom.

The jurors only took about an hour to acquit Ficano on Oct. 2012 charges of possession of marijuana and possession of marijuana with the intent to sell.
